Hailing from Taunton, Massacheusetts – South of Boston – the three
piece
band Wheat formed in 1997 and released their first two albums on the
Chicago-based independent label Sugarfree. Wheat is made up of
singer/guitarist Scott Levesque, drummer Brendan Harney and guitarist Ricky
Brennan.

If you’re a fan of intelligent, nuanced pop-rock like that of Fountains
of Wayne, Dada, Wilco, and Flaming Lips, then this is an album you must have
in your collection. At the heart of these songs are insidious, warm melodies,
crafty arrangements and shiny musical hooks.

Sharing production chores with Wheat on their major label debut are two of
pop music’s most inventive and original producers, John Fields and Dave
Fridmann. Fridmann, a member of Mercury Rev is known for his work with the Flaming
Lips. Together with the band they sculpt uniquely lush pop songs with experimental
twists and turns. Highlights include “Breathe,” “Some Days,”
“Life Still Applies,” and the first single, “I Met A Girl.”
